I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1083 - 401: The Proper Way to Use Barbarian Slaves! Chen Mo’s Gift! (Part 2)

"Why did Mr. Chen leave?" Kuang Yinghao was somewhat puzzled and came over, asking tentatively, "Mr. Xu, there are still a group of officials locked up in the State Mansion, how do you think they should be handled?"

Xu Lin took a deep breath and exhaled a turbid breath, "No rush, let them be for now. The immediate matter is more urgent."

Kuang Yinghao was confused, "The Barbarian Slaves have been taken away by the Xuanhuang Army, what urgent matter could there be?"

"Nonsense, of course, it's to build a temple for Mr. Chen!"

Xu Lin glared at him and said, "Inform the State Mansion soldiers, anyone who's not on duty should go to help at Purple Clouds Mountain. If the temple cannot be completed within three days, I'll strip you of your official rank!"

Kuang Yinghao: "..."

...

...

Southern Wilderness, Cui Feng Mountain.

Towering peaks reach straight into the sky, the summit perpetually covered with a layer of snow.

Clear springs rush through the mountain, several Qingyun Horses are bowing their heads to drink water, and a few Barbarian Tribe women are rubbing their clothes by the shore, laughter and chatter are ceaseless.

At the foot of the mountain, a cluster of felt tents is set up, looking from afar like clusters of white clouds on a green pasture. Many Barbarian men are sitting around bonfires, their hairy chests exposed, tearing into lamb legs.

The body of the Bone Erosion Tribe is strong, and their consumption is equally large.

Even unadult children can consume half a green sheep in a day, and those strong men blessed by the Divine Thought have their intake quadrupled and beyond.

Moreover, the Barbarian Tribe's customs are open by nature, with entertainment scarce, idle evenings are spent in closed-door reproduction, and Barbarian women have astonishing fertility, with triplets or quadruplets being common, almost annually...

This has led to rapid population explosions within each tribe over the years, making resources increasingly scarce.

At the most tense times, even the grass on the plains had to be grazed bare.

Since they couldn't be self-sufficient, they could only steal food from others.

With hunger driving their gaze toward the prosperous Great Yuan, their neighbor.

Once the box filled with malevolent intent is opened, it can never be closed again. From a young age, they learn to ride and shoot arrows, making the whole nation soldiers, using their formidable physique and high mobility to catch the border guards off guard.

After tasting the benefits, the tribes united to launch surprise attacks, and by the time the news reached the court, Nantu State had already declared defeat.

They killed anyone they saw, plundered and fled, burning what they couldn't take.

The Barbarian Tribe could sustain war with war, yet the Great Yuan Army depended on supplies from the rear, the longer the frontline, the harder it was to maintain, eventually dragged down by this guerrilla tactic.

The flames of war burned all the way from the Southern Border to Qing Province, with countless civilians and soldiers lost in this conflict.

Finally, it was Chu Yanli who wielded the Heavenly Decree Seal, leading troops to battle, killing three "King Realm" warriors in one day, clearing Qing Province in five days, gradually stabilizing the situation, and driving the Barbarian Tribe back to the southern wilderness.

But Chu Yanli's ultimate goal was certainly not limited to merely driving them away.

Over the years, she personally defended the Southern Border, intensifying military preparations specifically, and led troops several times to conquer the Southern Wilderness, reducing the seven major tribes to just five. The remaining tribes could only shrink deep into the wilderness, not daring to show their faces.

Even so, she still refused to relent.

Judging by this posture, it's clear she won't stop until the tribe is eradicated!

The relationship between the Barbarian Tribe and Great Yuan has long lost any ground for reconciliation!

"Where's Wu Ge? Why hasn't he returned yet?"

In the central felt tent, several strong Barbarian men stood with their hands down.

Behind the long table, an elder with white hair and beard sat in the chair, a totem with a wolf head and human body hanging beside him.

He is Cang Ya, the only wizard in the Bone Erosion Tribe, also called "Zhu," reputed to be able to communicate with the Wolf God Kailin using Divine Thought.

Previously, when the Great Yuan Army came to conquer, the old tribe leader sacrificed himself to cover the tribe's retreat and was brutally beaten into meat pulp by Chu Yanli. Now, Cang Ya holds the highest status in the tribe, concurrently handling the tribe leader's duties.

The Stone Vine Banner leader shook his head, "Not sure, he set off with the troops towards the border two days ago, but there's been no word since."

Cang Ya's brows furrowed, an ominous feeling in his heart.

At that moment, exclamations suddenly rang out from outside.

Cang Ya's heart skipped a beat, he stood up abruptly, "Let's go take a look."

Everyone quickly exited the felt tent, and their faces changed drastically upon seeing the scene!

Two Barbarian men were supporting Wu Ge, who staggered as he walked into the camp, his expression bleak and breath weak, his entire right arm severed at the shoulder, the gnarled wound had already scabbed over.

Cang Ya frowned and said, "What the hell happened? Why are only you three back, where are the others?"

Wu Ge's throat moved slightly, his voice hoarse, "We fell into the trap of the Human Race, ambushed by the Xuanhuang Army, the others all died in battle, I barely fought my way out..."

They calculated with intentions and without intentions, pre-arranging the military formation, thousands gathered together, even with his King Realm strength he narrowly escaped death!

No sooner were these words uttered than there was a commotion all around!

Everyone was chattering, mixed with the cries of women and children, who were the families of the deceased.

Cang Ya's expression at this moment was extremely ugly.

Under Chu Yanli's siege, the Erosion Gu Tribe suffered heavy losses and was greatly weakened, now unable to reach even thirty percent of their peak power.

And having lost so many elites now, it's undoubtedly adding insult to injury for them!

"Silence!"

After a moment of silence, Cang Ya slammed the wolf head walking stick heavily, his scarlet eyes lit up, and a low growl seemed to echo in everyone's ears.
